Abstract

Abstract The verb-second (V2) phenomenon, as it is found in the Germanic languages, has been the focus of much attention within recent syntactic research. In most of the literature on V2 (e.g., den Besten 1977, 1989; Thiersch 1978; Koopman 1984; Holmberg 1986; Platzack 1986a, 1986b, 1987; Taraldsen 1986a; Schwartz and Vikner 1989; Tomaselli 1990a, 1990b; Roberts 1993; and Vikner 1994c), it is assumed that the verb in all V2 clauses has moved to a head position outside IP, e.g., C°.
